Curriculum

It is our aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum at Sandhurst. Through our curriculum development we want all our children and staff to have the opportunity for memorable experiences, rich opportunities and high quality, irresistible learning. To this end, we recognise the changing needs of individuals and groups. The curriculum is developed so that our children become effective and motivated learners, responsible citizens and confident individuals.

We teach a creative curriculum which is a carefully planned, thematic approach to teaching and learning. This way of teaching supports children’s natural curiosity and stimulates their creativity. It offers children the opportunity to work in depth giving them the time they need to reflect, consolidate and transfer their learning. We know direct experiences placed at the centre of the curriculum will develop children’s thinking and capacities in meaningful contexts. In our drive to raise standards and achievement, we teach the recommendations as highlighted in the Primary Curriculum. This offers a focus on assessment for learning to help reflect the differentiated needs of all our children.

The phonics scheme we use across Early Years and KS1 is ‘Read, Write, Inc’.
